Lucas, Connie Lopez, Eleanor Gonzales, Gloria Esquivil, and Marty Melendez. She was preceded in death by John Rey, Gilbert Rey, Raymond Rey, Willard Rey and Tine Cohen. She was the aunt and great aunt of many who will miss her. Margaret was quick to take in anyone who was struggling and always said she "raised" many children.

She was born in Stockton and raised all four children here. In the 1950's she joined the Stockton Police Women's Reserves. They formed a drill team and Maggie was in many parades with award-winning performances.

Maggie loved to dance with her husband especially in pre-war times. She was a good cake

decorator and made the BEST enchiladas ever.

Maggie never met a stranger; she was kind and loving to all. She did not hold grudges; she was the type to give you the last French fry, the shirt off her back and the socks! She was often heard saying "If I have it, you have it"!.
